As I mentioned, it _used_ to work in the terminals I have installed
(lxterminal & gnome-terminal).  It did so without any particular
configuration.  Now it has _stopped_ working in the terminals I have
installed, while it still works in other X programs (e.g. GTK stuff
like chromium).

Unfortunately it looks like I'm alone in this.
